This little cutie is just 8 months old and she`s full of fun and cuddles. As a matter of fact, Natasha thinks she`s the perfect lap sized dog. She`s a very happy young girl that will need adopters that are excited to continue with positive rewards training and ensuring that her socialization consists of well planned positive experiences. Natasha may be able to join a home with a confident, well mannered resident dog that will be a good role model as well as a playtime friend. She did live with a cat in her previous home, but joining a home with a cat new to her will require well managed introductions to be successful. Teens that will participate in her training for consistency and don`t mind a sometimes bouncy girl, will be considered. Natasha will be a little ray of happy sunshine in her new home.

This big guy would be thrilled to be your best friend going on fun adventures and snuggling up on the couch with you! Mylo is one and a half years old and has lovely house manners – he is house and crate trained. He`s a bit of a worrier when meeting new people, so his adopters should plan on letting him settle in with household members and then, slowly expand his circle of friends. Once you`re his buddy, he may be a bit enthusiastic with his hello`s and will need to fine tune those manners. Mylo would enjoy a mellow dog buddy to go for walks with, but he needs to be the only pet in the home. Older, sturdy kids who are comfortable with a big, sometimes bouncy young boy, will be considered. If you think this sensitive, good boy might be a good fit for you, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

Meet Penelope! She is a shy, quiet doodle looking for a quiet household to welcome her in. Her adopters should be able to understand her body language when she is uncomfortable and give her lots of time, patience and space as she slowly adjusts to a new home. Her world should be kept small at first as she gets used to her new setting and those around her. She has a limited history with dogs, but could benefit from a confident role-model dog in her next home. As for cats, she may be able to coexist with a dog-savvy cat as long as appropriate introductions are done. She should live with adults and only older kids that can consistently practice shy dog skills.

Chunky boy’s name might not suit his looks, but he is a waggy, wiggly boy who is excited to make some new friends. Chunky did not have a lot of new experiences before coming to the shelter, so he’s still learning about all things dogs, and he’s having a great time while he’s at it. He is a very smart guy who is eager to learn new things, including more doggie manners. Chunky is a fun, athletic guy who will likely make a good adeventure buddy once he is settled into his new life! He can come in a little hot when he meets other dogs, but might be okay with another social and tolerant dog friend.

Despite an unthinkable start in life, Sophie continues to amaze and inspire us with her “up for anything” attitude and a joyful exuberence that she starts every day with. Some of her favorite things include saying hi to every person she meets, playing fetch with her best friends, and going for a ride in the car. Sophie loves to swim, she loves to nap, and she loves to eat. She is such a special girl and we can’t wait to see her in a home of her very own with the loving family she deserves.

Meet Wendy! With her sleek, shiny coat, big block head, and her zest for life, she’ll be sure to sweep you off your feet. With her energy, size, and enthusiasm, she may actually sweep you off your feet (!)…but if you’re hoping to be smothered with love and to have a new adventure pal, she would be happy to fit the bill! Wendy could likely go home to a dog that is tolerant of a larger pup who can be a bit rowdy. Due to her love of sniffing out a variety of critters, she may not be best for a home with cats, unless there is potential for slow introductions. She can go home with children who are ok with a large, excited pup. If Wendy sounds like the dog for you, inquire today!
Lady is a beautiful 2 year old that will need a wonderfully patient family to adopt her. This very sweet girl is quite fearful of the many noises, people and activities that occur in everyday life. She will need to join a home with a confident resident dog that is consistently friendly to people and other dogs. This helper dog should enjoy playtime, but not be too pushy. Lady really blossoms when she has a dog buddy to hang out with. An abundance of patience and no time expectations as to how long it will take Lady to settle into her new home, will help her transition be successful. Working on house manners such as potty training etc, will need to be secondary to her comfort and sense of security. A quiet dog savvy cat, may be a possibility. Older kids that will consistently be respectful of her fearfulness and will participate in her training plan, will be considered. Parents should understand that Lady will likely not be a dog that wants to interact and play with kids for quite some time. Lady deserves a home and a family to love, if you think you may be a good fit for this sweet girl, please start by filling out the inquiry form.
This sweet boy is Max. He’s a chill guy who’s house trained and loves to spend time with people. He could do well with a cat with a proper introduction. He should meet any potential canine siblings before going home and would do best with a very dog-savy dog, as he can be a bit overbearing during play time.
Meet Scrappy! As his name implies, this kid is enthusiastic, outgoing, and when it comes to the question of being his friend he doesn’t take no for an answer. Scrap is just under a year old so is still learning all of the great things about being a dog. He is a smart cookie and loves to train, which has made teaching him about things like polite greetings and walking on a loose leash a breeze. Scrappy would do well with an active family who is eager to conitnue helping teach Scrappy how to be his best self. Scrappy would do best as an only dog for now, but would likely enjoy having some well-matched dog friends. We’re not sure if Scrappy has lived with cats or kids before, so he’d need to be intergrated into a home with either with a good management plan that our staff is happy to talk more about with you. If you’d like to learn more about Scrappy, submit an inquiry today!
This beautiful girl is ready to finally be a loving member of a family and experience living indoors! Tana has most likely spent the majority of her life outside, so coming to the shelter was a huge change for her. She was very worried and it took some time for her to gain enough confidence to expand her close circle of friends. Tana is 6 years old and was initially very worried, when first arriving at the shelter. Giving her some time to settle in, has allowed her sweet personality to start to shine. She loves playing with squeaky toys, rolling in the snow and long sniffy walks ( in quiet areas).Her adopters should expect that transitioning to a home will likely cause her to worry again. Tana will need plenty of time to become acquainted and comfortable with household members before being expected to slowly expand her world. She will definitely feel most comfortable in a quieter, low traffic home. Tana is very uncomfortable and worried about children, so she will need to be in adult only home. With well managed introductions, she may be able to join a home with a cat, but should be the only dog in the home. If you think that your home is a good fit and need a friend like Tana to keep you company, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

Big puppy fun when you adopt Luna. And we do mean big- she is only nine months old and already weighs 100 pounds and still growing. When excited, Luna can get very bouncy, putting her paws on your shoulder. Adopters should be excited to help her learn how to manage her puppy energy through positive rewards training, only. She loves flinging her toys around outside and rolling in the snow. Inside time should include low activity things like food puzzles, chewies, treat dispensers etc. Luna can possibly have a similar sized dog friend in the home, but this will require management due to the size factor. She has a good history with cats. Older, sturdy kids that are very comfortable with super sized, bouncy dogs, may be a possibility. If you think you have the time, room and energy for this very sweet gal, please fill out the adoption inquiry form.

Spinner is a sweet and rambunctious little puppy ready to find a new home! He came to us from the south so we don’t have a lot of information on his history, but he has been super playful and affectionate since he came to us. Spinner has been through a lot of transitions in his short life so new experiences can be a little scary and overwhelming at first. He is looking for a home where his family can help him settle in and experience the world at his own pace. Spinner could live with another dog that is excited to have a new friend and could help show him the ropes! He has a lot of puppy manners to learn and can’t wait to find a home that can teach him!
This beauty is just a year and a half old and she`s ready for some fun in the snow. Sammie arrived during a transport from the south, so snow is new and fun. While there is no background history, we already know that she is super friendly, very smart and enjoys long walks. Sammie is a strong gal and is working hard on her leash walking manners. Hiking on leash would be an excellent adventure for her to join you on. To help her make good choices as she adjusts into her new home, shelter staff suggests puppy proofing your home, while she learns the ropes. At this time, Sammie should be the only dog in the home. She may be able to join a home with a dog savvy cat, providing slow introductions are well managed. Older, sturdy kids that are comfortable with a big happy girl, will be considered.

Meet Banana! While she won’t be a great source of potassium, she will be a great source of fun and excitement to keep you healthy! This wiggly pittie adores play time in the yard and chasing toys around. She’s still working on her manners and would benefit from continued training and enrichment to be the best girl she can be! She should meet any children in the home to make sure they’re okay with her goofy antics and energy levels. She’s still learning how to politely greet other dogs, and is looking for someone who can help her keep working on it! She’d do best as an only dog, but may be able to have some well-matched dog friends. We know you’ll go bananas over her!
Texas is looking for a family that`s ready for all things puppy!! He is almost 5 months old, full of energy and very smart. Texas can also get a bit too excited, which sometimes results in mouthiness, so he is working hard on calm appropriate manners. Puppies need lots of management within the home in order for them to be successful- puppy proofing the home, having a safe confinement place as well as plenty of physical and mental exercise, all help them mature into happy adults. Patience and consistency with house training is the key to success. Texas may be able to join a home with a resident dog that will be a good role model. A dog savvy cat that can tolerate puppy stuff, may be a possibility. Texas has shown some discomfort when eating, so older kids that will consistently be respectful of his need for space, will be considered. If you`re ready for some puppy shenanigans and excited to participate in training with Texas, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form. MSPCA at Nevins Farm Adoption Inquiry mspca.org
Say hello to Sage! He is a 4 year old Pittie mix who is looking to be your next best friend! He can be a bit enthusiastic with his hellos, so he will need some help refining his manners using positive reinforcement and lots of patience/management to help him get it right. He has successfully lived with cats and dogs in the past, but has been dog selective here at the shelter. He could potentially live with another dog in the future pending a slow introduction, but he says no thanks to dog parks. He could live in a home with older, sturdy kids who won’t mind a bouncy dog and that could participate in training this exuberant boy!
